It’s become an unfortunate reality for the Buffalo Sabres: late period goals against. And on Sunday, the unfortunate happened once again in Buffalo’s 4-3 loss to Pittsburgh. For the sixth time this season, the Sabres gave up a goal with less than 2:30 left to play in a period — a Paul Martin shot with 2:04 remaining. It ended up being the second time that the goal given up was the game winner with the other time happening against Toronto when Matt Frattin scored with a second left in overtime to give the Maple Leafs the victory. The Sabres had countless opportunities to put the Penguins away, but couldn’t finish the chances.(Photo by Bill Wippert/NHLI via Getty Images) This time, it left an even more sour taste in the mouth of the Sabres. Especially Ryan Miller. A visually angry Miller finally let his emotions out after yet another game in which Buffalo had a chance to win, but failed to come through when it mattered most. “It’s just a [expletive] way to lose,” said Miller. “I don’t...

Ryan Miller makes amazing glove save

Via Diehardsport  |  February 18, 2013
During the celebration of Hockey Day In America, it’s only fitting that the Buffalo Sabres American goalie Ryan Miller delivered this absolute gem.  Tied 3-3 late in the 3rd period, Pittsburgh Penguins forward James Neal somehow got wide open in the Sabres zone.  Sidney Crosby hit Neal with a perfect pass, and Ryan Miller miraculously came across the crease and snagged it out...

YouTube.com Ryan Miller of the Buffalo Sabres played a great game in goal against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday — Hockey Day in America, in case you didn’t know. With the game tied 3-3 with just over three minutes left in the third period, Miller darted to his left to make a glove save on James Neal’s one-timer. Watch the awesomeness below: Unfortunately for Miller,...

Sabres Continue to Leave Points on the Table

Via Queen City Sports  |  February 18, 2013
The Buffalo Sabres fell 4-3 to Pittsburgh yesterday afternoon in what was yet another failed attempt for Lindy Ruff’s club to win back to back home games for the first time this season.  The loss was especially disconcerting because Steve Ott’s third period tally had completed a comeback from a 2-0 deficit and had actually given Buffalo a 3-2 lead in the final frame. Hodgson’s...

Power Play Woes Continue To Hurt Sabres

Via Queen City Sports  |  February 17, 2013
Thomas Vanek’s been the only Sabre to produce on the power play. Five of his twelve goals has been with the man advantage At 6-9-1 and tied 10th in the Eastern Conference Standings, there are a lot of issues currently plaguing the Buffalo Sabres. One of those issues is the team’s lack of ability to produce consistently on the power play. Buffalo finds itself sitting in the bottom...

The Ever Fickle Sabres Fan

Via Queen City Sports  |  February 18, 2013
The old adage about weather in Buffalo goes: “if you don’t like it, wait five minutes.” With a third of the NHL season officially in the books, it’s safe to say we can apply that same saying to being a Sabres fan. Consistency is perhaps the last word you would choose when defining the team’s play thus far and that has played a rather large role in why the Sabres have struggled...

GARTH: Greatest Common Factor

Via HockeyBuzz  |  February 18, 2013
I spoke with a reliable source on Monday night who confirmed what I have been hearing for the past couple of days that the Buffalo Sabres are said to have “serious interest” in a high profile RFA, two-way centreman who is presently sitting at his home in Clinton, Ontraio, awaiting a trade from the team that drafted him. The Sabres have earned only 13 of a potential 32...

Third Period Dooms Bruins In 4-2 Loss To Sabres

Via Boston Sports Then & Now  |  February 16, 2013
Anton Khudobin skates away as the Sabres celebrate their third goal of the third period. If you turned the television off after the second period, you missed a lot. Through two periods, it looked as if the Bruins would beat the seemingly disinterested Buffalo Sabres with ease in front of their restless fans for the second time in less than a week. Then came the third, however, and...

Gameday: Sabres Host Penguins On Hockey Day In America

After a hard fought, comeback win against the Boston Bruins on Friday night, the Buffalo Sabres have a little more confidence brewing than they did after the last two times the teams met. In order to keep the confidence growing, the Sabres have to pass a big test this afternoon when they face the visiting Pittsburgh Penguins in a nationally televised game (NBC) on Hockey Day In America...

GARTH: Sekera Doubtful

Via HockeyBuzz  |  February 16, 2013
Sabres D Reggie Sekera is doubtful for the Pens game on Sunday afternoon, according to Lindy Ruff. Sekera suffered a leg injury when he was checked innocently by Boston's Shawn Thornton on Friday night. Mike Weber was a healthy scratch vs. Boston. Weber will no doubt draw back in to the starting six D against his hometown Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday afternoon.

Ryan Miller Plays ‘Hot Seat Helper’ As Desperate Sabres Save Lindy Ruff’s Job With Comeback (Video)

Via NESN.com  |  February 15, 2013
Things certainly looked bleak for the Buffalo Sabres after two periods. The Bruins led, Ryan Miller was under siege and if things didn’t turn around, head coach Lindy Ruff might have very soon found himself on the unemployment line. Everything changed in the third period, when the Sabres roared back to overtake the Bruins and keep Ruff on the bench for at least one game more....

Martin's late goal fuels Pens

Via Steel City Sports Report  |  February 17, 2013
With the country celebrating "Hockey Day in America" it was only fitting than an American scored the game-winning goal; even if the losing goaltender was from the United States as well. Paul Martin scored his second goal of the year with 2:04 remaining in the third period to lift the Penguins over the Sabres, 4-3. The Penguins took a 1-0 lead just 35 seconds into the opening...

RECAP: The American. PENS WIN.

Via The Pensblog  |  February 18, 2013
  If Paul Martin hadn't erased two years of disappointing play with his spectactular start to this season, a game-winning goal with under 3 minutes to play would've done the trick, too. Man, that is ******* huge. It's reminiscent of the big moments Sergei Gonchar used to provide.   But Martin wasn't the only hero on Hockey Day in America. Look no further...

Luck On The Side Of The Sabres As They Defeat Boston

Via Queen City Sports  |  February 15, 2013
If there was an honor for being the luckiest team in the NHL, the Buffalo Sabres might be the front runners for that award. Multiple times this season Buffalo has been bailed out of their awful decisions, and has found itself in contention for a victory even though it was playing awful hockey. On Friday, it happened again. Despite an overly poor outing in the second period, and other...
